Bone marrow harbors stem cells capable of differentiation into both hemopoeitic (blood and lymph) and mesenchymal (muscle, bone, fat and other) tissues. Bone marrow stem cells have even been shown capable of differentiating into nerve and skin cells.
BrainStorm has developed a proprietary method which enables the efficient differentiation of bone marrow into neural-like dopamin and NTF producing cells. The technology is patent pending.
We intend to develop this technology, NurOwn™, for autologous transplantation into patients with neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, ALS and Spinal Cord Injury.
